As commented on a previous "Spring" submission, great DOF control, and sharp focus on the foreground. However,in my opinion the white background sort of washes out the intended subject. Hope you don't mind a tad bit of critique, and I expect the same. This blog is to help us become better photographers with no hurt feelings, right?
I agree. I think if I had captured the blue sky behind instead it would have made the flowers "pop" more. I welcome the critique, it helps me become a better photographer. Absolutely no hurt feelings.Thanks Jim!=)
Wow, yes, a blue sky would have really made the flowers jump out. I am myself very guilty of only "seeing" the subject in a photo, and oblivious of the background until viewing it later.
I agree, blue sky would have made it pop more, but is the white background snow?? Such perfect focus - the pistils and stamens of these cherry(?) blossoms stand out so well - maybe you could photoshop the background?

ReplyDeleteI think it is cool how more than one blossom is in focus, almost all of them! And it is in REALLY GOOD focus! Very pretty. :-)
